Highlights:
- Chronicity; recurrent attacks; infections, past history of.
Damaged nutrition. Paucity of symptoms. Lack of reaction to well-selected
remedies. Degenerative history. Threatened malignancy. Slow -
insidious development of symptoms. Bipolarity. Heightened sensitivity.
- The 'cancerinique', a precancer cachexy: sudden decline, weakness,
brownish, olive the typical 'cafe-au-lait complexion, blue sclerotics
(Tub.), blinking eyes, bizarre antics, numerous
pigmented naevi etc., esp. when no single remedy could cover the
whole case by itself, or there is a paucity of helpful symptoms,
or standard remedies do not go beyond palliation.
- Multiple infections in history of self (or inherited), like
bronchitis, whooping cough, pneumonia, tonsillitis (also excision),
recurrent colds, influenza, glandular fevers (infectious mononucleosis),
P.U.O. etc.
- Family history of depraved, inherited conditions; troubles
starting early in life, like recurrent colds, asthma, dust allergy,
acidity, eczema, diabetes, cancer, T.B., leukemia, pernicious
anemia, secondary and tertiary syphilitic troubles, ataxia, alcoholism
etc., degeneracies in short. The more troubles combine the better
indicated (cp. Streptoc.). Cases whose parents or
relations needed Carc.
- Suspected malignancy, but the farther away from frankly developed
cancer the better indicated. Any way, useful in the stress/shock
stage of malignancy. In active cancers, according to some, it
is rather "risky and fraught with dangerous possibilities
of distant metastases and severe aggravations." This may
refer to low potencies; since we are told also that "as an
intercurrent in cancer cases its use is not precluded. There is
no case of carcinoma that it will not help at some stage. It may
even be suggested: when in doubt give Carc." Cancers
of the softer variety (for hard, Calc-f., Con., Scir.).
Nerves:
- Apprehension in stomach (Dys.,
Med.); sinking in pit from shock. Anticipation agg.
generally or causes vomiting, eczema etc. Dyslexia.Conversion

torpor, a mental inertia.
Tissues:
- Growths: e.g. corn-like, with severe burning on touch
(with Rad-met.); painful swelling at the spot of

scald; (cancerous) brain tumor; traumatic neurofibroma; painless
lump near outer canthus. Warts. Post-vaccinal or post-surgical
keloids. Moles. Polyps. Lipomas.
- Malignancies: Rapid or slow. From maltreated T.B. Hodgkin’s
disease, lympho-granulomatosis. Ca breast, with great pain, hemorrhagic,
offensive, acrid discharge. Ca uterus, cervix. Leukemia.
- Tendency to inflammations.
- Hemophilia. Thallasemia. Hemorrhages from orifices of body.
- Bones: Brittle (Calc-p.).
- Soft: Mind. Cancer. Skin. Scar. Light. Music.
Generally:
- Tired in morning, fresh in evening.

self-depreciated.

childhood. Also over-protected and spoilt childhood. Puny. Averse
to play. Self-contempt. Guilty, self-reproaching. Repeats actions.

shock, prolonged and unresolved grief, bad news, harsh upbringing,
fright, anticipation, reproaches, etc.
